I love the comment about English fans being mild mannered, when English Football fans are always a national embarrassment when they go abroad 😄 Regards Macho and Elizabeth and the break up, a few years later when they were doing the Shawn slept with a Wrestlers wife Angle, the blacked out woman describing it was clearly meant to be Elizabeth. Makes me wonder if something went on between them during this Tour 🤔

Loved your Podcast (only just heard it) and loved the fact you read my post out. Lol don’t worry about my name, no one can say it in England either, I just give up and say call me Gary to people anyway even though that’s not my name 😩😄 Here’s a question, storyline wise for WM9, after there first encounter at Survivor Series 92 would it have worked better if Perfect had faced Razor in a singles match instead of pairing both of them off with Backlund and Luger 🤷♂️ And if you ever get the chance you too guys doing Summerslam 92 and Survivor 92 I can guarantee you at least 1 listener 👍

I've got some catching up to do as I'm late to the party but just reading the descriptions I know I'm going to enjoy these. I was 18 at the time and noticed how the WWF had changed slightly - I couldn't put my finger on it, but it seemed different to how it had been even three years before. I can see this being a nice nostalgia trip for me!
Also, the podcasts don't seem overly long, so if I can cram in a couple a day then that can only be a good thing. Best of luck with it.

Still loving the podcast, and now watching a week ahead of where you guys are, ie: the Raw after this week's episode's Raw. I wonder if you guys noticed the weird thing in the opening Scott Steiner/IRS match that I did.

I've just listened to the first podcast and I liked it. I like the tone, the information, the rapport you both have - nobody's trying to outdo one another or get more air time. As well as that, it's a nice nostalgia kick and and an interesting take on things from a fan's point of view as opposed to a wrestler, promoter, manager etc; you're not trying to put a spin on anything, you're reflecting your honest reactions.
I'll certainly listen to more of these in the future; good work to all involved.

As I type this I'm listening to the 93 Rumble podcast. You're talking about the Rumble itself, and dear God what a poor talent line up! I've seen it rarely since the original broadcast, but it's not exactly a stellar line up is it?

I'm probably the only one that did, but I marked like hell for Austin namedropping Kuishinbo Kamen this past episode. One of my favorite guys of all time.

I've seen it rarely since the original broadcast, but it's not exactly a stellar line up is it? The Rumble itsef is for sure a major dropoff compared to previous years, especially '92. I think you guys said as much during the podcast - 92 was such a good year that you could really see the difference in quality. Everyone hoped for a repeat and something just as good, but it wasn't to be. Hearing some of the entrants - Fatu, Skinner, Berserker, Virgil, Repo Man - it shows what poor shape things were in circa early 93. I know that you needed 30 men but some of the entrants are like 'Really?!!!'.

We are recording later tonight and I figured I'd try to get some discussion on a wrestler who is debuting.
What did everyone think of Adam Bomb? I'm interested to see what your immediate thoughts were when he made his debut.

I'm interested to see what your immediate thoughts were when he made his debut. I thought that the name was corny, but was initially impressed. He was a big guy but quicker and more agile than expected, and thought he looked like a badass with the long hair and beard. I could see him in the Bam Bam Bigelow roll of 'monster heel but not necessarily a top guy', but he never really caught on. Turning him face seemed like a desperate move - or a chance to sell more merchandise with those little foam bombs he'd throw to the crowd - but again, the crowd just wasn't into him.
